As mentioned by Kakka earlier, us, the Yakuza played a significant role in the mayhem during the postwar period. During the time when the Japanese government isn’t complete yet, we were the group that fought off the undesired aliens and Americans. Thus, our power expanded. But what’s after that? We return on making income through gambling. The stall-keepers started various trades. Our groups unified and enlarged the organization. Then, the gamblers wanted a sure method of income, and so they started making a move on the stall keepers business, the stall-keepers got their eyes blinded with money, and so they started making a move on the administration in the territory of the gamblers. The two mutually invade each other’s land, and that is the origin of Yakuza’s disputes. Not belonging to a bloodline makes the Yakuza treat which boss they have as the most important Sakagami sighs.
However, the young ones no longer know about it. There’s no interest either. You’re too focused on money-making that you don’t care about the past and the traditions at all
isn’t that why we have to protect the arbitration ritual of the Takakura shrine?
Oodori screams with his eyes opened wide.
If you protect just that, what else can you do?
Sakagami rebukes.
Did you not hear Kakka earlier? Yakuza currently is in a position where it’s questioned whether we should still exist or not. It’s possible that at this age, Yakuza’s no longer necessary
Then.
That’s not the problem bastards!
Wait, was that Satake himself?
Satake stands up and shouts using his voice.
No matter what age we’re in, there would be dropouts from the society! There will always be guys who can’t live unless they do evil as they love it! Do you get it? Huh? Only Yakuza accepts those people!
But.
Indeed, there will always people like those no matter what age we’re in. Not all people have the virtue of a commoner. However
Jii-chan said.
Are all the dropouts of modern society going to Yakuza? Will the Yakuza obese in power still accept young drop-outs from the community?
that’s!
Fraud distress phone calls, ah, they’re called Help me mom scam now,. Will you accept the young perpetrators who commit such scams?
the young ones all try to survive in whatever way they can!
Satake said.
Then, will those young people have a future? No, if they’re in their late teens or 20s, they still can re-do their life. But what about you, those in their 30s, in their 40s, do you have a plan for 10-20 years? What will you do when you’re too old?
that’s for them to think, they can’t be Yakuza once they’re too old
If you were just a gang of young toughs in the old days, then that answer could’ve been okay. However, times have changed. You’re now too big of an organization. In my eyes, the current age doesn’t need a Yakuza organization How dare you say that, without us, the big enterprise would be wiping their own asses right now!
Jii-chan.
I cover all aspects when going into business. Kouzuki SS is created for that reason
Satake’s taken aback.
We are much more fearsome, much stronger than you. Furthermore, we don’t ask for maintenance protection money. We’re also in an equal and friendly relationship with the police
Shou-neechan said.
so what?
Do you still not understand? We’re saying that all the business you’re doing until now, defending from crime syndicates, dealing with hostiles, smoothing out the interests between parties, are all possible with our group as well That means?
you’re saying that you want to eradicate the Yakuza itself?
Satake’s in panic. Shou-neechan said.
Oh? We do plan on letting free those who can contribute to us. We will only deal with those no longer useful. In the end, the current status is illogical. There’s too many of you sharing the same portion of the business, instead of providing services to the public. We only want to balance the demand and supply chain. Naturally, we will be supporting the drop-outs too. Those who can’t work on the backside then has to work on the front side, right? You can’t introduce them to a job on the surface, but Kouzuki house controls multiple enterprises, and once the deal is done, that is an increase to our reputation Kouzuki SS intends to take away all of what the Yakuza’s doing now.
that’s not possible
Oh? Why do you think so?
Shou-neechan smiles.
No, but, we’re different from you. We Yakuza
So what’s the difference?
We have our resolve! We will shoot if we need too! That’s why we!
Is that something you should say to someone who already used a gun?
Shou-neechan says.
That reasoning will only cause trouble to the ordinary citizens who don’t hold weapons. If you like it that way, then go to some unpopulated island and kill each other there
i!
Satake hesitates to speak.
By the way, why did you take over the Takakura shrine?
Shou-neechan asks Satake calmly.
Huh, no, that’s
Why did you kill the priest and the shrine maiden? Takakura shrine isn’t your territory but Oodori-san’s. Well, the shrine itself should belong to the whole Kansai yakuza, but it’s substantially under Oodori-san’s control for nearly 20 years uugh
You should know that, right? Yet, why did you try to take over the Takakura shrine? Could you tell us the reason?
Shou-neechan smiles.
That’s right, I wanted to ask the same thing
Oodori speaks to Satake.
Satake, I know that we weren’t close, but we’re not hostile to each other either. And yet, why did you try to take away the Takakura shrine from me?
Ugh, Ugh
Satake sits down on his chair and whispers to Kinzou.
Err, the chairman doesn’t know. He doesn’t understand why he says
He doesn’t know it himself?
Yet, he still took over the Takakura shrine.
Then he killed Tsukiko’s parents.
Wait, could this be?
It’s the Miko power?
I mutter unconsciously.
Miko power includes the ability to make someone obey the user’s will.
You don’t know it yourself, I see. And right now, you never had the doubt why you did it
Shou-neechan’s voice echoes.
Please close down the bamboo blinds
Shou-neechan said.
A shutter comes down on Jii-chan’s VIP room’s glass box.
Tsukiko and everyone is soon covered.
I can see them looking confused.
As expected, Kouzuki-san can’t afford to make a direct contact
Margo-san said.
With who?
I asked.
Huh, you know it already don’t you?
Nei tells me.
Okay, look over here
Then, Kinoshita-san brings us a small-sized monitor to watch on.
You mustn’t look at her directly from now on. We will be watching from the monitors of the security camera as well
Nei said.
That means.
Miko power needs a certain distance, and they don’t affect those who watch through the cameras
Michi said.
I see.
Well then, let’s introduce her
Shou-neechan turns her back and looks at the monitor.
Our last character, Takakura Kiyomi-san, please enter!
Chapter 738
Let us welcome the arrival of our last character. Takakura Kiyomi-san, come in!
The door on the south side opens.
Yo-chan, don’t look
Oh right.
I look at the small monitor handed over to us.
A beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a kimono stands in the light.
Her features are similar to the Takakura sisters.
She’s definitely Tsukiko’s aunt. Takakura Kiyomi.
She enters the hall.
The guards following Kiyomi are all wearing helmets.
Their whole head is covered.
Those guys are watching through monitors in their helmet. They’re using radio to communicate with each other, and so they can’t hear Kiyomi-san’s voice
